Santo Domingo.- National Health Insurance (SENASA) director Altagracia Guzmán Marcelino said Tuesday that each affiliate of the more than two million members of the subsidized regime needs to pay 25 pesos more into Social Security (SDSS), to ensure services and its financial sustainability.

She said if the quota is raised from RD$181.37 to RD$206, instead of the RD$5.0 billion which is this year’s budget for Senasa, there would be RD$6.0 billion to provide coverage to members.

 Guzman said the annual budget is drafted according to the number of affiliates and the quota of RD$181.37 “is arguably low and is insufficient, so we believe it will be a topic for the next administration and next budget of 2013.”

The official said the quota hasn’t been indexed since October 2002 and in there was a financial crisis 2003 and 2004 and runaway inflation at over 200%. “For example, on cancer, the prices of medicines are indexed in dollars, a similar case occurs with the heart, so we believe that quota increase and improved network must go hand in hand.”

 In the case of contributory formula, with 454,721 members, Marcelino said in the first quarter SENASA earned 42.4 million pesos, however, the subsidized had a negative balance of RD$149. 3 million, and pensioners and retirees -6.5 million, which she expects to correct if Congress approves RD$500 million requested in the Supplementary Budget, which in turn would be enough to cover the rest of the year and close with a lower loss.

Pay attention to the bankrupted Social Security system in EEUU.

How much more legal oversight exists (or rather existed) in EE? And still the pillaging of its Social Security wasn't prevented.

I have started a new campaign here where I hand out to all my friends and aquaintances the alcohol wet paper towels to clean their hands when they have been in public lavatories or even when shopping .The reason is that there is an enormous amount of the bacteria E,coli aroundat present that causes infections in the urinary tract and the kidneys and I think simple precautions can reduce medical expenses ..

Little Ricky are you going to this Conference?

“Rebolledo: Money Laundering and tax evasion affect social programs”


SANTO DOMINGO.-The Laundering of money and tax evasion strengthen organized crime and affect the economy and social programs of the people, said Alejandro Rebolledo, organizer and speaker at the II International Conference on anti-money laundering of money and against the financing of terrorism, which will be held on 5 and 6 of July at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana.

"It is urgent to create a base of information at the Latin American level, to follow the path of money, from the origin to the destination to thus put an end to impunity and the double standards of many public servants", says Rebolledo.
